Yeah remember when I said Sam Cassel should play in this series?
I was wrong. He should stay as far away from the court as possible. |

Great series, Boston deserves to go to the NBA Finals because they wanted it more.
Detroit played horrible in the 4th quarter. Joe D has to get rid of Rasheed. Rasheed for sure though. I'm sick of him complaining, taking costly fouls, getting costly technicals. Also, I will not be surprised if Saunders is fired. |

Splaya made some great points. There is a lot of rumors that Flip will be fired and that players are fed up with Sheed and want him out of Det.

Who the hell is gunna guard Lamar Odom in this series. I mean, if Odom has his way like he should, the Lakers should win this in 5. I think the Lakers have beaten 2 teams that are better then the Celtics imo, Spurs and Utah. The Celtics have a major IT factor. When they've had to absolutley win a game, they've done it. Lakers havent " absolutley had to win a game " at all this year in the playoffs. Everytime i've thought the Celts wont win, or shouldnt win, or cant win, they win. They've dug deep and gotten it done. Thats a major factor for championship caliber squads imo. But Kobe > everyone at this point. I'm not taking anyone over Kobe this time. I'm thinking Lakers in 6. |

I'm picking the Celtics in 7, but I'm not betting on it. I think Lakers in 6 would be reasonable. Pierce is going to probably be on Kobe all day, so that does leave Odom, no I'm not sure who they will put on him, my guess is 2-3 people rotatiing. That being said, they are the best team in the East, they won in Dertoit twice which is a very difficult place to play, What means more? winning in Atlanta in round 1, or winning in Detroit 2x in the ECF? they did beat the Lakers twice in the regular season. I don't agree the Spurs or Jazz are better then the Celtics, I'd say the Lakers are a better team right now, but in 7 games who knows... most of all, I'm just happy I wont have to listen to "mason" and the worst introductions in the league and of course no stupid steam whistle either! |

I think the Lakers will win the series if they take Game 1 or 2 in Boston. I think the Lakers will AT LEAST 2 of their 3 home games in LA. I see either team taking it in 6 or 7. Phil Jackson is trying to break his tie with Red in titles. Ironically hes trying to do it against Reds team.

Odom is a huge match up problem for the Celtics but the C's present some match problems for the Lakers as well. Pau Gasol is soft as babyshit, I think KG and Perk will be able to dominate him on the block, especially on the glass. Its gonna be real interesting, the way it should be - the two best teams in the NBA facing off for the championship

What an amazing NBA Finals. God, so different from last year's bullshit with the Cavs and the Spurs. This really is a dream matchup, it's amazing for the fans and the NBA. Celtics scare me, I admit it. Perkins on Gasol terrifies me, and I really don't know how we are gonna guard them. Rondo-Fisher, Allen-Kobe, Pierce-Radmanovic (and Kobe)- Garnett-Odom, and Perkins-Gasol I guess... Radmanovic's length might bother Allen, maybe, I don't know, maybe we can put Kobe on Pierce the whole time. This is going to be so good. If we can steal one of the first two in Boston, we can definitely win all 3 on our homecourt....
Prediction wise... I'm gonna go with the Lake show in 6. |

Guys if we win it all.. Oh my god.
I made a prediction like 3 months ago or some shit, or maybe even further back, saying the Lakers would win it all. I'd much rather face the Pistons though. It's all good, this is the best matchup any NBA fan could hope for. I hope all the old Celtics and Lakerrs are at the games. |

if the Celtics drop one in Boston they could be screwed because don't forget this is 2-3-2 not 2-2-1-1-1.
as for the intro, I like it because it's not over the top, however the sparkler display you can feel the heat and you'll see spots for a min. The old intro had a bunch of classic celtics stuff, "Havlicheck stole the ball" and "There's a steal by bird". I almost 1/2 expect them to work the McHale clothesline of Rambis into the intros for the finals. I just think Detroit and "mason" are way over the top and annoy the crap out of me. The first team I remember doing the lights out music and everything was the bulls back in the day. Heck, the Celtics waited till Aurbach was dead to bring in full-time cheerleaders "Celtics Dancers". |

LOL at VEl saying the Celtics are better than the Spurs. I guess he didn't realize that Boston played scrubs all year like Philly, Toronto, Orlando, Washington, Atlanta, Charlotte etc.
While the west is arguably the toughest conferernce in all of sports, and possibly ever in basketball. Celtics have gotten it done when it matters, but they've also lost games they had no business losing. Lakers have beatin 3 good teams to get to where they are, and had their way with all three teams more or less. Not only are the Lakers better, but they haven't played 2 seven game series and than a 6 game one, so the Lakers will be the better rested team. I just don't see how Boston can stop Kobe, and if they double team, Odom, Gasol, Fisher, will burn them all night. And even if they do play him man up, like RP said, who guards Odom? Perkins isn't quick enough, PJ Brown is to old, Garnett will have to play Gasol. Odom should be able to have his way in this series. It's good to see Lakers/Celtics and it will be even better to see Lakers take it in 6. Also, the 2, 3 , 2 format is retarded. |

it should be a good series, I don't see the Lakers taking 6 or 7 in Boston, so if it goes past 5, I like Bostons odds. oh, the reason they claim they do 2, 3, 2 is due to traveling from coast to coast. I prefere 2-2-1-1-1 myself. |

2-3-2 definitely favors the road team. Lakers got screwed by it in 2004 against Detroit.

Lakers are the best team in the NBA, most wins or not. I'm putting 100 dollars on this series, and I'm not worried on bit that Boston will win.
They had trouble beating LeBron, Kobe who in my opinion is better than LeBron has guys like Odom, Gasol, and Fisher who can all score and makes plays. Cavs didnt have anyone but LeBron. Garnett, Allen and Pierce need to show up for everygame or it won't even be close. Celtics had a much easier road than the Lakers to the finals, yet had the tougher time to get there, which is why I've had the Lakers to win since day one, and why I still have them. |

the thing is, Kobe is a better player then James, but James is so much more physical, I think Pierce will be less tired gaurding Kobe then he was on James. but we shall see...... I haven't been wrong yet with the Celtics... feel the least confident in this one then I did the others. Celtics in 7. but Lakers in 5 wouldn't shock me. and no, maybe I'll do some over/under stuff but I'm not betting on these games. early line for game 1 is Boston - 2.5 |

I have a bet with a friend, not Pro-Line.
I think Boston will make it tough, because of how badly guys like Garnett and Pierce want it, but nobody wants it more than Kobe. This is Kobe back in the finals for the first time without Shaq. He's gonna be the difference and why the Lakers will win. Lakers also have a deeper bench, and more talented bench. |

I'm taking my lakers in 6 for a few reasons: 1. No one can guard kobe. 2. Hall Of Fame Coach. 3. Best bench in the league.
When it comes down to it, LA beating Utah in 6 and SA in 5 > Boston beating ATL in 7 and CLE in 7 |
